Whatever you have planned ...

and take time for a cuppa

and slice of low carb Coffee and Walnut Sponge Cake

Ingredients:

100 grams of ground almonds

100 grams of walnuts

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon of melted butter

2 tablespoons of double (heavy) cream

1 tablespoon of instant coffee

100 grams of clotted cream

Method:

1. Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl.

2. Melt the butter, I used a Pyrex jug, add the eggs, cream.

3. Place 1 tablespoon of instant coffee in a cup and pour some boiling water over the coffee, keep water to a minimum, just enough to melt the coffee. Then add the dry ingredients and mix.

I stopped using baking powder in such recipes, opting for whipped egg whites instead. I separate egg yolks from egg whites, and mix only yolks with all other ingredients, adding whipped whites before cooking. I think it improves taste. Sometimes I even add yeasts just for taste.
